Warm, friendly and flexible
Istvan was a friendly and flexible guide. As we hadn't seen the Castle Hill (Buda) side of the city, Istvan was willing to change his usual tour to suit and it was informative and entertaining. I did ask how many rivets were in the chain bridge, which he didn't know, but he promised to find out as homework 😁. Great tour with a lovely guy.
